Or falls on them, because a Christmas tree almost hit me a few days ago. (The funny thing was (since I'm back in Oregon for the holidays) the top news story on the TV at the time "Across the Northwest, trees are still falling.")

Dikiyoba will be a green spider. Specifically, this green spider.

Edit: 2500 posts in a year. Woohoo!

As far as the story goes, not much. There's some additional subplots in A1 that weren't there in E1, though.

As far as the interface goes, there's quite a bit. Avernum has fewer spells, a maximum of four adventurers instead of six, is isometric 3-D instead of 2-D, and has no dual-wielding. Food and dialogue works differently.

Have you discovered the "Great Secret"? That is to say, have you been able to get into the temple in the Spirit City to talk with the spectral priest and seen the ancient shaping platform?

There don't seem to be all that many horses, though. Maybe they were recently discovered and so they are still too scarce and valuable to ride into battle.

Time wise, it's probably better to get the unicorn charm from the unicorns rather than wander around outside.

Eventually, you'll want the shroom charm from Morog and probably want to steal the scroll from her as well.

'Tis true, Tyran. Though it looks like I'm wearing clothes in the photos I've posted, it's actually just a trick of the light. In fact, a lot of things in those photos are tricks of the light. Except for the hat. The hat is real.

Dikiyoba actually looks like this.[/sarcasm]

Yeah, the weather's been just bad enough to make searching for the missing climbers on Mt. Hood difficult.

From the article:

Carbon monoxide...was also responsible for killing two men over the weekend...the other was using a charcoal grill to heat his bedroom.
Does that qualify him for a Darwin Award? Whatever happened to wearing multiple layers of clothing and putting more blankets on the bed?

You're not distinguishing between shaping and the Shapers. Shaping didn't result in the drayks being banned and killed. The Shapers did that. It's not the technology that's to blame, it's the people who have the technology.

Genocide wouldn't have happened without shaping because then there wouldn't be drayks.
What's wrong with drayks? They aren't inherently bad, either. On Sucia Island, Akkat, Rhakkus, and Syros were independent and intelligent but they also showed respect for your character (and also towards a few other figures) and loyalty to the Shaper who created them.

It was the treatment of the drayks by the Shapers that turned them against the Shapers and forced them to create drakons. If the Shapers could have banned the creation of new drayks but left the remaining ones alive as a new race and with a place in Shaper society (probably in some sort of history- and research-keeping role, since they live for a very long time), then the rebellion wouldn't have been successful.
